All 5 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Peoria,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Freedom Plaza Care Center runs on 4.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 32.1% sits well under the 45.8% national figure. That combination of more hands and steadier hands shows up on the health inspection side, where the home earned the top CMS rating and its last survey, in April 2024, turned up no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. Twelve total deficiencies is not nothing, and one is abuse-related. Weekend coverage drops about 12% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.
Lake Pleasant Post Acute runs 3.32 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage. That thin margin shows up in the staffing rating, 2 out of 5, and in a 50% annual turnover rate, which runs above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on February 26, 2026. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, so the clinical numbers look better than the day-to-day coverage does. For-profit, limited liability ownership, 128 beds.
Rio Vista Post Acute runs 150 beds in Peoria under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 4 out of 5 on health inspections, a recent April 2025 visit, and no abuse deficiencies among the 12 on file. That one harm-level deficiency is worth asking about directly.
The staffing picture is where it thins out. At 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 10% under the national average, weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday levels, and turnover at 48.9% runs above the national figure.
So you have a home that inspects well but runs leaner than average on the floor, especially Saturdays and Sundays. Ask how they staff weekends.
Peoria Post Acute And Rehabilitation runs 179 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its total nurse staffing of 4.13 hours per resident day sits about 7% above the national average of 3.86. That headline number looks solid, but weekends run roughly 10% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 20, 2026. Quality measures score well, while CMS's staffing star comes in at just 1 out of 5, a gap worth asking about directly.
Immanuel Campus Of Care runs 228 certified beds in Peoria under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 4.75 hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average, and turnover is 23.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care are largely staying put, and weekend coverage drops only about 9% from weekday levels. What undercuts that is the inspection record: 36 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 16 tied to abuse, with a January 2025 inspection date and $18,529 in fines. Strong staffing and a troubled compliance history can coexist, and here they do.
